Unlikely Associates

The year is 1897, the country is gripped in the throes of a great depression. An aging Virgil Creede, and his son Jake, continue to courier documents and cash within Montana, making enough to keep his family going. Gold is trickling out of the Yukon and Alaska without much notice, until a huge strike is made on the Yukon's Klondike River, and men begin flocking to the north. Fred Pickett brokers a deal between a Seattle company and Helena investors for a gold claim on the Klondike. Virgil and Jake are given the job of carrying the quarter million dollars of invested money to Seattle. The deal turns out to be a scheme, and the money is stolen en route. Virgil and Jake set out on the trail of the money, which leaves murders and betrayal in its wake. They follow a false trail to the gold town of Skagway, Alaska where they encounter the two most unlikely people, who join forces with them to solve the puzzle behind the stolen funds. With these 'unlikely associates', they return to Seattle to run their own con game to recover the money.
